Opera Ballet

One of the newest, fastest-growing and most accessible of LSESU's societies, we exist to promote opera and ballet to LSE students and enrich students' lives through these art forms. We are the centre-point on campus for opera and ballet, and the gateway for newcomers on their journey into opera and ballet. We unashamedly think that opera and ballet is for all - especially for students. So, we widen participation in opera and ballet by breaking down myths about these art forms, by encouraging newcomers to give them a go, and by ensuring that events are always engaging, inclusive and financially accessible for all students. Don't wait until your fifties to realise the wonder of opera & ballet! We are changing our events slightly this year due to COVID-19 regulations, until we are assured performance venues can safely hold socially distanced shows. In the mean time, expect the same experience on campus and virtually! As a member you will get access to performance screenings, post show socials, and insight talks from leading industry experts.
